Replacement front windscreen
Discussion
Hello fella's.Just had a new screen in the Griff 400. Went to Peninsula and they called in a company they use all the time as not just any old company are up to the tricky fiiting or so I am told. A good job was done 
Had my 92 Griff windscreen done on the insurance. Excess was £60 and it doesnt affect my NCB. Check out your policy. I used autoglass and the car has to go to the depot, they cant do a decent job from the mobile vans. They told me it would take 2 hours but it actually took them about 4 and a half! Did an excellent job though.
I never bothered to ask how much it would have cost if it wasnt through the insurance. Insurance co. said the excess was £60 so just handed over the credit card to the chap at autoglass. I'll have a look on the invoice later but I dont rememeber there being a total amount on it other than the £60. I'll let you know.
When I had my screen replaced by PR Wood in Southend (no use to you I know) he said it can be tricky to do a TVR screen if you don't know what you are doing, easy to damage the interior trim round the screen too. The frame goes all floppy with no glass in it. By the way he did an excellent job.
I wouldn't trust Autoglass to do it, but as someone said above, they can do it, just as long as you don't get the spotty erchin instead of the bloke who knows his onions, I would go to a TVR specialist body shop for the work.
I went through the insurance and paid £50, but I think the bill came to around £400-500.

AutoGlass in Bracknell did mine via the insurance (£50).. 
Checked with the technian who introduced me to another older technian who had plenty of experience on TVRs (Henley Heritage etc). He checked the car with me and pointed out the bits you had to watch for i.e fitment, bodywork, rubber seals, roof panel fitment etc......
Great job done, car was clean and screen it perfect fitment
